    You’re the third person I’ve heard mention skibidi toilet (my 9-year-old daughter and 12-year-old niece being the other two), and I absolutely refuse to educate myself on whatever the fuck that is.

      You should, it’s actually good, basically a perfected throwback to decade old gmod animation meme humor. The animation is simple but to the point, cleverly and clearly conveying worldbuilding details and progressing a wordless(“skibidi skibidi skibidi” doesn’t count) but coherent story across many short episodes. People assume skibidi toilet is throwaway garbage content because its target audience is children and it’s about absurdist toilet monsters but they are wrong, it is art and the person making it knows his shit.

      Don’t do it, it’s not worth it, save yourself my dude! :-P

      I hadn’t heard it myself prior to like a week ago. However, now I can never go back to the blissful state of being that comes from not knowing that absolutely worthless piece of information.

      Fwiw, it is a YouTube series of videos. Beyond that… it means literally nothing, just you either have heard of it or not. I did see that it got billions of views - but how many were bots playing it to run up the subscriber stats I have no idea:-P. Also, I remember a post talking about a bunch of highly strange new young-person-jargon words having been added to the Oxford Dictionary in 2023? Which is likely not this phrase, but somehow I conflated those two thoughts and now I can’t unstick them in my mind:-P.

      In this case though, I chose to use it anyway b/c the word toilet already conveys the requisite info, and the urban dictionary article about it is also funny in relation.

      Or maybe, just maybe, the success of the phrase “skibidi toilet” is in itself proof that we are all enslaved to end-stage capitalism, where algorithms feed us what we do NOT want to see or hear, and yet what they think will make them moar profitz? :-) :-(
